So much for taking better care of myself...

 

In the theme of following up on my New Years Resolutions post I thought I would fill you in on my last two weeks of hell. I had the most horrendous allergic reaction to a body lotion resulting in having to take a course of steroids for the next month.

Gift guide - buying for guys

Well Black Friday has whipped everyone into a bit of a frenzy hasn't it?  We all seem to have forgotten we're British - reserved and respectable; choosing instead to adopt a more manic, crazed state where we elbow, shove and shout to get at whatever item is displaying a generous 10% off for one day only.

Elvive Fibrology

 

Don't you just love how brands make up words as part of their marketing bullshit to sell stuff to us?  What the fuck is Fibrology anyway?? Well it worked, I was suckered in and bought this thickening shampoo from L'Oreal Elvive that promises 'luxurious-looking body & bounce'.

Some Kind A Gross

I was bought this Benefit set a while back.  I'd not really used Benefit much before but it's a nice little kit and always nice to be bought something that you can try for new.

Autumn Nails

It's been a bit of a mixed weekend in Manchester. Saturday was beautiful throwing out 19 degrees, I went out in standard October attire... a coat, and ended up roasting. Sunday was more what we were used to, grey and drizzly. The sun shining through the trees on Saturday was beautiful, the colours on the turning leaves all orange and red.

The Simple Things

I read so much about fancy expensive beauty products or make-up that's so dolled up that it's really not wearable for everyday. I love reading about these aspiring products in the vein hope that one day I might have enough Boots advantage points to afford them, however what I really want to know about are those fail safe, go to, everyday high street essentials. 

Peppermint Rescue

"It's been two weeks now and all we've managed to do is make Regina's face smell like a foot."

According to my boyfriend my feet are disgusting. Personally I don't think it's my feet that are disgusting but all feet that are disgusting. But it's safe to say that years of cramming my tutsies into six inch heels and slipping on the trainers for 10K runs hasn't exactly helped them look as dainty as Cinderella's.
